Swiss Legend Watch Review

Known for their Men's watches, the Swiss Legend Trimix Diver
is one of the most popular watches due to the combination of solid performance, eye-catching design and excellent price.

Swiss Legend watches are quickly becoming some of the most
popular of the deeply discounted Swiss watches available on the internet and in
this Swiss Legend watch review, I aim to cover the best Swiss Legend watches
for men and women as well as a little bit about the company, the watch quality
and how to get the best price.

If your are considering buying a Swiss Legend watch you may want to keep in mind that Amazon has free shipping on nearly all of their watches as well as special financing on certain watches. You can click on any of the pictures below to learn more about each watch as well as buy the watch from Amazon.

Swiss Legend Men's Watches

The men's Swiss Legend watches are the most heavily marketed
and therefore the most prominent watches made by the company. Similar to the Invicta men's watches, Swiss
Legend offers a large range of watches that are offered at big discounts. And while the true price of the watch may be
questionable, the Swiss Legend men's watches have some of the lowest prices on
Swiss Made watches. Below are some of
the most popular men's models.

Legato Cirque

The Legato Cirque is one of my favorites from Swiss
Legend. This watch comes in several
variations, including a chronograph and an automatic watch and it utilizes a
comfortable sports band and colorful watch faces. The Legato Cirque is a fairly big watch at
49mm but wears smaller. The quartz model
uses a Swiss quartz movement and contains a chronograph for timing (basically a
stopwatch). It also has a stainless
steel case with exposed screws for accents and has fairly large pushers and
crown. The automatic version
(self-winding version) has a similar design; however, opts for a black
ion-plating finish on the stainless steel case giving it a much different
look. Both versions have a textured dial
with skeletonized watch hands for easy time telling. What I love about the Legato Cirque is that
the watch face colors have a tremendous variety and some of the bolder versions
such as yellow and red are very eye-catching without being obnoxious. You can see all of the different variations
by using any of the links on the right hand side.

Neptune Diver

The Neptune Diver is one of several Swiss Legend dive
watches and is my favorite. This dive
watch is much different than most traditional dive watches in the sense that it
doesn't seek to minimize the size of the watch.
The Neptune Diver is an extraordinary 53 mm in diameter and is 19 mm
thick making it a huge watch. But making
a watch this big isn't necessarily about making a statement (although it does),
it is more about not compromising on functionality. This dive watch has a durable mineral crystal
window, screw down crown, unidirectional bezel and best of all, all functions
are easily manipulatable while diving.
It is powered by a Swiss quartz movement and is water resistant up to
330 feet. The Neptune Diver comes in a
range of colors from the unique and noticeable green and yellow versions, to
the more traditional black with different colors for accents, to even some
white and brown models. Check out the
selection using the links to the right.

Commander Chronograph

The Swiss Legend Commander Chronograph is another popular
series that combines the sport and dive watch styles to produce a stylish
chronograph. This watch is a bit more
moderate in terms of size coming in at about 45 mm wide, but the way in which
the lugs come off of the watch face makes it look larger. This, together with the large pushers and
crown give it a very masculine and/or commanding look. The watch features a uni-directional rotating
bezel and chronograph that makes it a good watch for timing, diving and other
sporting activities. This watch is
similar to the Legato Cirque in that it has a stainless steel body with a
rubber strap, but the image of the watch is very different with the Commander
being bolder and more imposing. It also
has a range of color combinations but they are more subdued with the stainless
steel case taking prominence in this series.

Tungsten Pro

The Tungsten Pro is another one of the Swiss Legend men's
watches that I've had my eye on. This
watch is along the lines of the luxury Swiss watches such as those made by
Rolex, Omega, etc. For the Tungsten Pro
the flashy watch and bracelet combo forgoes the traditional highly-polished
stainless steel for Tungsten, and equally shiny and tough material. This watch measures 45 mm in diameter and is
in the same range as the other watches on the list, but this watch has much
more class. This watch is also a
Chronograph and uses a Swiss quartz movement.
In addition, the bezel is a uni-directional rotating one that can be
used to time your dive and there are tachymeter readings marked on the inner
bezel (tachymeters are used to quickly calculate the frequency of things; i.e.
miles per hour). The Tungsten Pro has
fewer variations but does have a range of different watch face colors to choose
from. See all of the options by using
the links to the right.

Trimix Diver

Arguably the most popular Swiss Legend watch for men would
be the Trimix Diver. This watch has a
tonneau shape to it which gives it a hexagon like appearance. Similar to the Bulova Marine Star, this watch
has several screws in the bezel giving it a porthole like appearance. These dive watches all feature a chronograph
function (yet no rotating bezel) and are powered by a Swiss quartz movement. It has all the makings of a rugged diving
watch with a water resistance rating up to 660 feet, a large (really large)
screw down crown, sapphire crystal and rubber strap. The variations on this watch mainly feature
different color accents with the crown and bezel, but they have a whole bunch
of different styles that you can see using the links on the right.

Swiss Legend Ladies Watches

While not being very well known, the Swiss Legend ladies'
watches are stylish in their own right.
From the women's commander version which takes the masculine watch and
transforms it into a strong feminine watch to the ceramic watches which are
every bit as elegant as high priced luxury watch, all of the watches provide a
great value and have numerous variations so that you can find the perfect color
that would go with any outfit.

Women's Commander

The women's version of the commander watch is very similar
to the men's version (which I mentioned was very masculine) but does a great
job at still providing the feminine allure.
It does this by reducing the watch diameter to a still pretty large (for
a women's watch) 37 mm but also providing softer, more feminine colors such as
pastel pinks and blues, as well as several white watch versions with things
like gold accents and mother of pearl dials.
Each of these watches is powered by Swiss quartz movements and is
surprisingly water resistant, all the way down to 660 feet. The watch also uses a polyurethane band that
makes it very comfortable and helps it to wear smaller. Feel free to browse the selection of Swiss
Legend women's watches using any of the links to the right.

Colosso

The Swiss Legend Colosso watches are the brand's classic
ladies' watch. These watches have a
square dial and are about 30 mm in diameter making it the size of most women's
watches. Each of these watches uses the
classic stainless steel with a highly polished finish to give it the look of an
expensive luxury watch but costing only a fraction of the price (in the
neighborhood of 100 bucks). It's made
with a highly scratch resistant sapphire and uses a Swiss quartz movement. They have several variations such as the two
tone gold and stainless bracelets, and a number of different watch faces
(ivory, mother of pearl, black, white, etc.).

Swiss Legend Ladies Ceramic Watches

Swiss Legend also offers a couple of different ceramic watch
lines. By far the most popular is the
Karamica which boasts an enormous watch face at approximately 40 mm (about the
size of a man's watch). Not only is it
large, but because it is ceramic it has plenty of heft. That hasn't stopped it from getting plenty of
rave reviews as nearly everyone who reviewed the watch has enjoyed it
immensely. The watch bracelet colors are
mainly limited to white, black and an ivory color but there are numerous watch
face colors such as white, black, mother of pearl, etc. And because of its size, the watch is very
easy to read and the design has a very clean and dressy look. You can use any of the images to the right to
see more options and read more about each watch.

South Beach

The Swiss Legend South Beach Collection is a great watch to
buy if you need something that is both dressy yet casual at the same time. The South Beach watches have a very luxurious
watch body with highly polished stainless steel case that measure around 35 mm
and a variety of watch faces that all feature a clean design, plus some watches
in this collection have a diamond encrusted bezel helping to provide the
sophistication to the watch. But then
the watch is coupled with a leather band which lends it the casual appeal. Each watch uses a Swiss quartz movement and
has a mineral window that will resist scratches and shattering. Explore all of the South Beach watches using
any of the links to the right.

Swiss Legend Quality

When doing the research for this Swiss Legend watch review,
I came across a number of different reviews and opinions and learned a great
deal about these watches. It turns out
that Swiss Legend is owned by a company, Swiss Watch International or SWI,
which owns a handful of watch brands: Swiss Legend, Jacques Lemans, Triumph
(which is a motorcycle company), Red Line, and more. The company is based out of Florida which takes
away a bit of the Swiss watch legacy.
But that doesn't mean that the watches aren't Swiss necessarily. It is a law that in order for a watch to
contain the Swiss Made marking, it must have 50% of the value of the watch as
Swiss components and the final steps of the manufacturing have to take place in
Switzerland. Now, not all of the Swiss
Legend watches have Swiss Made status, but those that do are of good quality.

As with most brands, you are going to get loyal followers
and haters and it's often the most intense of each group that speak up. The best place that I've found to get good
information on watches in the watch forums.
There you have people that will call out any bluffs and BS. And you can get honest feedback from
respected watch enthusiasts. And the
general impression that I've got is that Swiss Legend makes good low to mid
range watches so long as that is all you expect from them. And, to me, this is reflected in the price.

Where to Get the Best Price on Swiss Legend Watches

As I mentioned in the introduction, Swiss Legend is known as a deep discount brand because they discount their watches by up to 90% or more off. The first thing to keep in mind when looking for the best price Swiss Legend watches is that the list price is generally accepted to be a marketing ploy. The manufacturer can list it for whatever price they want and by offering huge discounts it makes you feel like you are getting a bargain.

So to get a good idea of what is a "normal" price take a look at what a number of places are selling them for. I like Amazon because they have a list of retailers (off on the right hand side under the buy now button) that list their prices side by side. Amazon offers the lowest price Swiss Legend watches on the main listing and I would say that 9 times out of 10 this is going to be the lowest price you can find. The wild card, however, is that you will get online stores that have 1-day specials and blow out sales that do dip below the Amazon price. Sites such as World of Watches often have a Swiss Legend clearance sale and some (BUT DEFINITELY NOT ALL) watches will be cheaper there. I would do a quick comparison on Amazon to make sure.
